thermostat set point requirements. You just need to use something
reasonable and they have to be the same in proposed and baseline models.
A possible exception to this would be if you are using different
thermostat setpoints to simulate the reduced energy associated with an unusual
systesm such as a displacement ventilation system or radiant cooling or
something. There may be some archived info on that approach in the
bldg-sim archives.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
